A dramatic maritime operation unfolded in the Indian Ocean as US forces boarded the sanctioned supertanker MT Davina. According to US Indo-Pacific Command, the vessel was intercepted during a right-of-visit boarding operation. Reports indicate the tanker was carrying around 1.9 million barrels of Iranian crude oil loaded at Iran's Kharg Island before departing in March. The vessel reportedly disappeared from public tracking systems for weeks before reappearing during the interdiction. Washington says the operation is part of a wider campaign to disrupt Iran-linked maritime networks and prevent sanctioned vessels from operating freely in international waters.
